4-9 tons are expected to survive reentry.

“Based upon the size of this rocket, there is an estimated 1-in-230 to a 1-in-1,000 chance of someone getting injured by a piece falling from this rocket. This is considered to be much higher than an "acceptable" chance in the United States.”

“In May 2020, the same type of rocket crashed into an African village. Pieces of debris were several yards long. There were no indications of injury from this event.”

We do public safety analysis to make sure we don't have a significant risk of dropping a rocket stage on a populated area. If we do then we'll have cutout during the launch period so we miss the populated area if something fails going uphill.

The government of China composed of secular scientifically educated men say it isn't an issue. I believe it is technologically easier and therefore more utilitarian just to play the odds. If we can only get God loving Christian Nationalists in power here we will have a government that thinks in a completely different way and will act just like them. If it hits somebody it won't be a matter of unlikely chance but God's will.

How liberal.
